Using Problems about Probabilities from Social Media for Teaching?

In this paper we highlight interesting stochastic problems of a young Canadian mathematician on a social media platform (X), especially their potential for being used for teaching at various levels. He managed to be featured in a reputable Austrian daily newspaper by a science journalist, and rightly so!
